Abstract: School to work transition is a highly debated topic in the scientific literature, being associated with the changes and uncertainty in early adult life. Eurostat data on the unemployment rate among young people shows that this transition is not at all easy: the EU rate reached 23.4% in 2013 - an increase of about 16% compared to 2009. However, most research focuses on the study of labor market insertion of young people after graduation and little is discussed about term-time employment. This issue gains importance as higher education costs increase and the labor market is facing an increasingly higher offer excess. The paper aims to conduct a study of the phenomenon of term-time employment and its consequences for higher education institutions and the labor market.
